But, you might not be sure what the smartest way to withdraw your money is. Furthermore, you might be fearful of it running out.    To take us through all the withdrawal options and discuss how we can make our money last in retirement are our expert guests: Product Director at Legal & General Retail; Mark Jones Financial Journalist and Founder of Much More With Less; Faith Archer PensionBee’s Head of Product; Martin Parzonka. _________________________________________________________________________ Episode Breakdown:    02:32 Predicting how long you’re going to live  05:39 When can you take your pension?  06:38 Annuities 07:36 Pension drawdown 16:45 Making a pension withdrawal plan  19:27 Measuring risk  22:54 Having multiple sources of retirement income 24:25 Resources to aid your pension withdrawal plan.  _________________________________________________________________________ Further reading:  Think about your pension withdrawal plan with the help of these resources from PensionBee.   Episode 18 transcript Pension drawdown Pension annuity Pension drawdown calculator State Pension age calculator Inflation calculator Drawdown explained (Youtube) How to withdraw money from a pension fund Should I take a lump sum from my pension?
